Tendinitis cure/suggestions??
Due to a medical issue that I had I was told to quit eating any wheat products. I had carpal tunnel and was looking at surgery. After I quit wheat my carpal tunnel improved then disappeared. It has been 3 years and it has not come back.

Bass Boat Weigh for Towing
I assume that our rigs are similar in weight. I have a Z20 Nitro with a 250 Verado and tandem axle trailer. It weighs in at around 4500 lbs. I use a Ford F250 6.2. I used to pull it with a Chevy 2500 6.0. The Ford handles it much better than the Chevy did.

Y'all Turkey Hunt
I used to hunt them with a bow and shot gun but I would rather fish. I don’t care much for the meat and they are harder to release than a fish.?

Plastisol
Open pour laminates are tricky at best. You may want to keep some Mend It handy to repair some partial delaminations.

Nitro Z18 power pole
Kimberling City or the Aunt’s Creek give you access to the whole lake with a few miles of driving. One can’t predict what part will be the hottest this far in advance. From Aunt’s Creek to Baxter to the dam is generally clear water. Above them up the White, James or Kings river arms one might find less clear water. Along with Ozark Anglers there is a guide by the name of Eric Prey who gives frequent reports on where and how he is catching fish. You may want to keep up with both beginning in March. BTW. Where will you be coming from?

Nitro Z18 power pole
There are very few places on Table Rock where poles would be of much use, however, there are thousands where spot lock will be beneficial. What part of Table Rock (it is a good sized lake with 1000 miles of shore line)? You can run 50 miles up 3 different tributaries from the dam. When in April? Do you like main lake or river fishing?

Nitro Z18 power pole
I put power poles on my boat when it was new. It turns out that I had very limited use for them. When I got a trolling motor with spot lock I had no use for them so I sold them. My recommendation is to change trolling motors or get a bird that works with the fortrex. They are heavy enough to change the balance of your boat as well as take up room with the pumps. Just my 2 cents.

swivels
I only use them on baits and blades of Arigs.

Humminbird Helix 7 too big for a kayak?
Decide how long you will be on the water, find out the amp draw of the unit, look at batteries with the reserve capacity to handle the time and draw and still have lots of reserve left so you won't over draw and ruin it. It's possible that a motorcycle or lawn mower battery might suffice.

Humminbird Helix 7 too big for a kayak?
It should come with a fuse in the power cord line. It is a low amp fuse generally no bigger than a 3. All you should have to do is hook it up to your battery.

You should always have an inline fuse on any sonar unit. Your power cord will be marked for positive and negative.

ned rig jig hook size
All of the ones that I have purchased have had a #2 hook. I have tried #2, #1, and 1/0. I bought 1000 1/0 gammy hooks from Shorty’s Hook Sales and that is all I have used for the last 2 years.

Will bass hit topwater when its cold??
A friend and I got in big trouble on Christmas eve once. We were spooning for bass and heard some fish busting the surface. We got to catching them on top water baits and lost track of time until it got dark. Then we had a 2 hour drive back home.

150 Merc 4-Stroke vs Pro XS
Is it a Verado? I have a 2016 and love it. It weighs more than the Poe xs but I would not trade for one. It is so quiet I have to look for the water stream in order to see if it is running.
